In March 2017, a new metro station "Minskaya" was opened. It is located on the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line, to which the transition from Arbatskaya-Pokrovskaya is carried out at the "Victory Park".
Construction
In 2013, the media reported on the decision to open a technical station on the section "Park Pobedy" - "Lomonosovsky Prospekt". But the plans of the metro builders soon changed. It was decided to start building a full-fledged station. In 2013, engineering and geological work was carried out. The pit was opened in the summer of 2014, but the construction process was suspended for unknown reasons. Work resumed in 2015. The construction was quite active and was completed by the end of next year.
Architectural features
Metro station "Minskaya" refers to shallow stations. The interior is designed in high-tech style. The pavilion was decorated with materials such as ceramic-metal panels, granite, aluminum, and stainless steel. The main feature of the metro station "Minskaya" -column decoration. If you are at the end of the pavilion, you can see that the images on them are the details of a single picture. The theme is military. This is due to the fact that the metro station "Minskaya" is located near the museum. It will be briefly discussed below.
The metro station "Minskaya" is located on the street of the same name. Nearby are Victory Park, Matveevsky Forest, Memorial Mosque. The metro station "Minskaya" a few years ago could have been opened on another line. The fact is that initially, between "Kuntsevskaya" and "Victory Park" it was planned to build two stations. Today, as you know, there is only one on this site - "Slavyansky Boulevard". The second was to be "Minskaya". The plans of mayors and metro builders change quite often. Thus, the construction of the "Minskaya" on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line was canceled.
Victory Park
This is one of the main Moscow venues for mass events. The history of Victory Park (or rather Poklonnaya Hill, on which the memorial complex was built) begins in the fourteenth century. The first mentions date back to 1368. Important historical events once took place here. So, in 1812, Napoleon himself was waiting on Poklonnaya Hill for the Moscow nobles "with the keys to the Kremlin."
After the end of the Second World War, it was decided to erect a monument to the memory of fallen soldiers. The park was laid out and trees planted. But the construction of the memorial complex began only in 1985.year.
Matveevsky Park
The territory of this forest is limited on one side by the street on which today the metro station "Minskaya" is located. Moscow is rich not only in historical monuments, but also in natural areas protected by the state. For example, the valley of the Setun River. This is the largest nature protection zone, which includes the Matveevsky forest. In 1991, this object was declared a natural monument. Today, there are several he alth and medical organizations on the territory of the Matveevsky forest.
Memorial Mosque
This is another attraction located near the "Minskaya" metro station. The memorial mosque was erected in memory of the Muslim soldiers who died during the Second World War. The construction of this facility began in the late nineties, but was accompanied by rejection from the public. Yet the mosque was built. The initiators of the creation of the project were the Moscow government, the Muslim Board of Russia, as well as the well-known capital philanthropist Faiz Gilmanov.
Museum of the Great Patriotic War
Minskaya metro station was opened not far from the memorial complexes dedicated to the Great Patriotic War. This explains its artistic design. The main object of the Victory Park is the Museum of the Great Patriotic War. Interesting thematic exhibitions are regularly held within the walls of this institution. Every Russian who comes to the capital and is interested in the history of his country is obliged to visit the museum at least once.
